In that above post where Pub says "PICTURES", I mistook the text color for a link and my heart sank when I realized that there was a time years ago when it was just likely enough that between pub caring to look at my webcam and my forgetting that I regularly had a webcam turned on, things could have been rather awkward.

I like to think that I'm pretty nice to Pub. If you ask if it's because I enjoy him as a person who has his moments of greatness, or because of my infinite patience, or because I really need the personal interaction, or whatever else, then you're missing the point.
I don't think I have a choice.

I'll say that normally I want nothing more than to be liked by people that I respect, but applying that to this case is certain to get me ridiculed. Fuck it, it's sure to be obvious in any case.
And I'm listening to Tangled Up In Blue, and I fucking blame you guys.

Asila, this is technically my 9th year on this message board and I still don't have the faith in anyone here to digitalize my unique and artistic approach to having an anatomical abnormality that has so far been witnessed by a direly small number of privileged individuals.

Anyways.

I wanted to include a picture of some obnoxious female comic that people would recognize, but I could only think of one and to use her would require that I say something totally superfluous about stereotypes of black men who have large penises.

This invites 7F to say something along the lines of "that's not a stereotype, I know it's true", and then he'd put in a good amount of blank space under that sentence and follow it with "as someone who is half-white, that is." followed with an emoticon expressing dismay.

Now we do it up close! Hugo: No! The cops will know someone else fired the first bullet! Fuck Rog! You fucking herbed us! You fucking herbed us! Where's the scarf? Where's the fucking scarf! Roger Rodriguez: I lost it. Hugo: When the cop comes I'm gonna tell them you shot him in self defense. Roger Rodriguez: If he wakes up he's going to tell on me! Hugo: Sorry bro, Desi's dead.

Pub, do you know what a shotgun is, beyond just a gun that has been shot?

I genuinely wonder. Since Europe doesn't have the 2nd Amendment, ratified in the Bill of Rights after being co-authored by Jesus Christ, I always get the impression that none of our hilljack gun talk means anything to you.

I mean, honestly, the most common word for "gun" I've seen in French is just their cognate for "revolver". Most guns do not have revolving parts, let alone the ones for which a revolver as known in English gets its name.

In England, since gunmanship is a matter antithetical to chivalry but has to have some metaphysical link to it regardless, I can only really imagine heated, monocle-steaming discussions over the proper way to store one's museum-quality pepperboxes or matchlock blunderbusses.
